Says former public safety officers:
"Coverage cut to make statement"
By Daniel P. Pryfogle
Editor of The Banner
According to several former
public safety officers, department
director Andy Broese Van Groe-
nou reportedly did not schedule
coverage for certain nights last
spring in retaliation against the
administration for cuts made in
public safety's budget.
After publishing stories last December and this February on the
rise in criminal activity on campus, The Banner learned recently
that the reasons behind the rise in
crime may not have been clear in
the published stories.
Specific nights during the
Spring of 1988, that had been
designated as "high crime" nights
by the public safety department,
were left unattended, according to
sources, during the early morning
hours ~ hours in which most
crimes traditionally occur.

by Broese, occured in December
1987 and January 1988 after a
series of cut backs in public safety's budget.
After the second set of cuts, former student officer Peter Firth began noticing that some nights
were not being covered by public
safety.
When he approached Broese
about these uncovered nights, and
volunteered his time to make sure
shifts were covered, Broese told
Firth, according to the latter, that
the administration was just going
to have to learn not to cut back
on public safety's budget.
Broese flatly denied making this
statement.
Broese did, however, say to one
officer, who volunteered his time
to cover shifts, that "there's got
to be a point where certain people
understand where do you draw the
line."
Broese continued, "You're never
going to understand there's a
problem until you know there's a
problem"
He acknowledged that there was
an attitude of anger in the public
safety office after the budget cuts.
"I was angry that there were
still expectations of the department even after the cut backs,"
said Broese. "There was still a
general expectation of me and my
department to still provide services."
Broese commented that people's
response to him was "uncordial"
when he told them his standard
statement after the budget cuts,
which was, "Because of recent
budget cut backs we are no longer
able to provide that service" ~
services, according to Broese, that
included unlocking the main
building in the morning, jump-
starting cars, and having coverage
in both resident halls.
Said Broese, "Our basic attitude
at that time was 'you get what
you pay for.'"
Public safety target of complaints;
Broese says problem is budget
By Pawn Keys
Feature Editor of The Banner
Recently and traditionally,
the department of public safety
has been the target of countless comments and complaints.
Most complaints have come
from students who have had
less than favorable experiences
with public safety.
One student stated that upon
returning to her room in Simmons Hall, she learned that
public safety had searched her
room in her absence, removed
one of her possessions, and
then accused her of stealing,
although she was innocent
Another incident took place
during interterm, which involved two guests of Bob and
Michelle Veach, who live in
in Lancer Arms. According to
senior Steve Pennington, also
a guest that evening, the other
guests were routinely stopped
and questioned by public safety. The two were asked where
they were going and were
asked for identification, which
was recorded.

However, Broese maintains that
"nothing was done intentionally"
to make a statement to the administration. "That's just not
my style."
Several former public safety officers, however, have labeled
Broese's actions as deliberate and
retaliatory.
"Definitely, he specifically was
trying to make the cuts felt by
Dennis (Sheridan), Mary (Pom-
roy), and Willie (Hamlett)... to
where he (Broese) would get
some of his money back," said
one former student officer.

Cal Baptist to sell 15 acre lot
By Dan Kohn
Assistant Editor of The Banner
"It's really a fantastic thing for
the school," said Jay Chance,
vice-president for public affairs of
a new land sale recently completed by the College.
On May 4, the Riverside City
Council unanimously agreed to a
zoning change that will allow
Cal Baptist to proceed with development of the 15.5 acre lot bordering Magnolia Avenue.
The College will develop the
land with Concordia Development Corporation in a sale/give
back agreement. Under terms of
the agreement, yet to be finalized
at press time, the College will
sell the land for 37.5 years, then
the land will revert back to the
College.
"It's a win-win kind of thing,"
commented Chance, who added
that the deal will allow the College to pay off existing debts and
help to fund the College's endowment.
The purchase price of the land
will depend on the number of
apartments the city allows to be
developed. The land could go for
as much as $4.2 million dollars
if 25 apartment buildings were
put on the land Chance said.
Chance also remarked that the
school's capital campaign, Partners in Progress, had just met its
base goal of $3,175 million dollars on Thursday. The campaign
will now move on to its' challenge goal of an additional $2
million.
The financial state of the College will be a major topic of concern at the upcoming Board of
Trustees meeting on May 5-6.
At this meeting, the trustees
will vote on a new budget for the
1989-90 school year. Among
other activities for the board that
weekend will be the receiving a
report by the Strategic Planning
Steering Committee.
Some implementations of the
strategic planning process have
already begun. The school has a
new toll-free telephone number to
facilitate recruitment, major
changes have been made in the
interterm program, a renewed focus on academic advisement will
begin next fall, and many changes in new student orientation will
start in the fall.
The steering committee was
formed to increase Ihe full-time
equivalent (FTE) enrollment to
725 by the 1990-91 school year.
According to Chairman Dennis
Sheridan, one key proposal is a
new evening program designed to
attract adult students.
"The real key is going to be the
adult evening program," Sheridan
said. "It's a challenge, but it's attainable." It is hoped that the
proposed new plan will increase
FTE by 100 students.
Other recomendations include
improving residential facilities,
improve the facilities in the main
building, implementing a customer orientation in all departments of the College, and hiring
a part-time apartment manager for
Lancer Arms.
